*Guide Required*
Mountain goat is a guide-required species, so it’s best to rely on the Advisors at Huntin’ Fool Adventures to discuss all outfitter and hunt options. Weather dictates success rates of goat hunts more than any other species in the state. Mountain goat hunts vary widely, from intense multi-day backpacking expeditions requiring repelling ropes to more leisurely, yacht-based late-season hunts cruising along coastal inlets.
All huntable mountain goat populations are managed through draw and registration permits. Alaska does not offer over-the-counter permits for mountain goat, but most units have open registration hunts which are essentially over-the-counter hunts with emergency closure protocols to manage these hunts based on draw hunt success and harvest limits. For example, all draw hunts in unit 7 will have registration-only hunts that may be open November 1-14 following the early season draw permit hunts.
